14 of 94 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics ain't too bad for a 2005 console title, levels are pretty varying and have well-design paths and timely checkpoints.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
6 of 94 sampled reviews raised it
CT Special Forces: Fire for Effect is a third-person action shooter that reflects a very specific era of mid-2000s game design, blending arcade-style gunplay with cinematic military spectacle.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
5 of 94 sampled reviews raised it
However, it has that special VHS action b-movie vibe - the plot and atmosphere are sufficiently cheesy, running'n'gunning is fun, and the overall pleasantly easy difficulty curve even offers a few rewarding (albeit a tad overly frustrating for a game of that quality) challenges at some points of the campaign.
